Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni

Petty Officer 3rd Class Zackary Hollowood (right) slices the ceremonial cake at the 2011 Hospital Corpsmen Ball at the Club Iwakuni ballroom here June 17 as Cmdr. Caesar Odvina (left) looks on. Odvina was the oldest corpsman present. Hollowood was the youngest corpsman. The oldest corpsman passing a slice cake to the youngest corpsman represents the passing of knowledge and tradition to the younger generation. The younger corpsman passing it back to the older generation symbolizes keeping those
traditions alive.
